listed. If there are some that you feel should be included send me the link and I will check it out.

What can I say about the Lawrence mountain bike club? If you've rode your bike in an event or on a
trail between Manhatten and Kansas City chances are LMBC or one of their members had a hand in it. The club hosts
numerous rides throughout the year. Throw a dart at the calendar and LMBC probably has something going on that day.
Check out their site for an abundent number of other bike links and Fat Tire stuff. www.lawrencemountainbikeclub.org.

A plethora of Kansas trail info can be found at the Kansas Trails Council home site. Hiking, biking, horseback
riding, backpacking, and canoeing are all areas of interest for the KTC. Their site contains maps of many trails supported
and maintained by the council. They are presently putting together information on many other trails in the Kansas area.
If your looking for trail info this is a good place to start.

The Missing Link

Where have all the Yetti's gone?

For excellent mountain and woodland riding check out Arkansas! The Ouachita mountain trail systems
boast something like 600 miles of trails. I vacationed in Mena Arkansas a few years ago and was awed by the abundence
of trails. They have a wicked event around Easter known as the Ouachita Challenge 60 to 65 miles of singletrack.

Arkansas also has an aggressive mountain bike series in the AMBC, Arkansas Mountain Bike Championship Series. For
information on their race schedule and venues check out www.ambcs.com
